Request for Proposal: Update NARA Buyer’s Guide for Rendered Products
The purpose of this RFP is to seek proposals from qualified individuals or firms with subject matter expertise who can perform an environmental scan of existing information available that would be a useful reference point for buyers of rendered animal by-products. The candidate selected will have technical and commercial expertise in the rendering industry and familiarity with existing trade flows and an understanding of the relevant supply chain stakeholders. Once data and information gaps are identified, the contractor will close the data/information gaps based on their own industry knowledge and with input from NARA members and other stakeholders, the information will be compiled into a written document(s) that will be hosted on a web-based educational platform and smartphone application. The buyer’s guide will serve as a resource to facilitate trade between U.S. exporters and international buyers of rendered and repurposed food and feed products. It will be featured alongside additional educational resources developed by NARA and partner organizations to assist international buyers and their supply chain partners.

Request for Proposal: U.S. Rendering Industry Life Cycle Assessment Data for Submission in the GFLI Database
The purpose of this RFP is to is to solicit a contractor to compile an LCA dataset to be presented to the GFLI and accepted into the GFLI database. Feed manufacturers and their downstream customers (livestock and aquaculture producers, pet food brands, and retailers) require this data because it helps them demonstrate carbon reduction in their supply chain and ultimately meet their company’s sustainability targets. Without reliable data about U.S. rendered products in the GFLI database, feed manufacturers are likely to source alternative feed ingredients or rendered raw materials from origins other than the U.S. that already have data in the GFLI database.
